Assignment 1: E-Learning

E-learning refers to a learning system that is undertaken with the aid of electronic resources. Teaching may be undertaken inside or outside the classroom. Computers and the internet are the main components of e-learning. Previously, e-learning faced stiff resistance from various parties who thought that it did not have the required human element in learning. E-learning has different interpretations in business, education, and training sectors. In education, e-learning refers to the learning process that is undertaken using software-based and online learning solutions. On the other hand, in higher education, business, and training, e-learning refers to online learning.

E-learning has evolved significantly in the past 10 years. Between 2006 and 2010, e-e-learning experienced rapid development. The “anyone can build” functionality provided all people with an opportunity to learn. Advances in technology in addition to less money and the ability to work without being limited by geographical boundaries provided people with additional learning opportunities. The introduction of several methods of e-learning, which include podcasting, learning analytics, mobile internet, and augmented reality led to a significant increase in thirst for online learning.

Blended learning is also a common phenomenon of e-learning. It refers to a learning process that combines two or more teaching methods. For instance, it may involve the combination of instructional technologies, web-based technologies, and pedagogical approaches. Blended learning may combine traditional teaching methods with digital teaching to ensure the methods complement each other to meet the needs of the course.

Gamification helps in achieving the objectives of the learning using less time. It makes the learning process become enjoyable to the learner and instructor.
